In addition to the interface screen for displaying the messages exchanged with the other party of the phone number based on the phone number in text functions such as SMS (short message service) and MMS (multimedia message service), the chat room It may be a representative example.

Hereinafter, a chat room of a messenger is described as a specific embodiment, but is not limited thereto, and any chat-based interface generated based on a user's account or phone number can be applied.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of components that may be included in a processor of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a method performed by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Is a flow chart showing an example of.

The electronic device 110 according to the present embodiment may be configured with a chat room processing system implemented as a computer. For example, the chat room processing system may be implemented in the form of a program that operates independently, or may be implemented in the form of an in-app of a specific application so that it can operate on the specific application, and in some cases, a server ( 150), it is possible to provide a messenger service.

The chat room processing system implemented in the electronic device 110 based on a command provided by an application installed in the electronic device 110 may perform the chat room processing method illustrated in FIG. 4.

In order to perform the chat room processing method according to FIG. 4, the processor 212 of the electronic device 110 is a constituent element, as shown in FIG. 3, a usage degree determining unit 310, a chat room selecting unit 320, and A chat room processing unit 330 may be included. Depending on the embodiment, components of the processor 212 may be selectively included or excluded from the processor 212. In addition, components of the processor 212 may be separated or merged to express the functions of the processor 212 according to embodiments.

The processor 212 and components of the processor 212 may control the electronic device 110 to perform steps S410 to S440 included in the chat room processing method of FIG. 4. For example, the processor 212 and the components of the processor 212 may be implemented to execute an instruction (instruction) according to the code of the operating system included in the memory 211 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 212 are executed by the processor 212 according to a command provided by a program code stored in the electronic device 110 (for example, a command provided by an application driven by the electronic device 110). They may be expressions of different functions of the processor 212 being used. For example, the usage level determination unit 310 may be used as a functional expression of the processor 212 controlling the electronic device 110 according to the above-described command so that the electronic device 110 determines the level of use of the chat room. .

In step S410, the processor 212 may read a required command from the memory 211 loaded with a command related to control of the electronic device 110. In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 212 to execute steps S420 to S440 to be described later.

In step S420, the usage level grasping unit 310 may determine the usage level according to the usage pattern of each chat room for each chat room included in the chat room list of the messenger. At this time, the usage level grasping unit 310 uses the conversation history stored in the storage space (for example, the memory 211) related to the messenger at a certain period (eg, 1 day, 1 week, etc.). The usage pattern according to participation in the conversation can be grasped, and the usage level of the corresponding chat room, that is, how many or how often the user uses the corresponding chat room, can be converted into a score based on this usage pattern.

Examples of factors that can be used to determine the degree of use of a chat room are shown in FIG. 5. An example of the degree of use is (a) how often the user enters the chat room, and may be calculated as the number of times the user enters the chat room. Another example of the degree of use is (b) how long the user has stayed in the chat room, and may be calculated as the residence time from the time of entering the chat room to the time of leaving the chat room. Another example of the degree of use is (c) how many or how often the user talked within the chat room, the percentage of the total conversations sent by the user in all chat rooms of the messenger, or It may be calculated based on the ratio of conversations transmitted by the user among all conversations in the corresponding chat room. Another example of the degree of use is (d) how many conversations the user started, and may be calculated as the number of times the user first started the conversation after a certain amount of time has elapsed since the last conversation. Another example of the degree of use is (e) how often the user is mentioned in the chat room, and can be calculated as the number of mentions in which a term indicating the user (eg, name, nickname, etc.) appears in the chat room. In addition, how equally the user and the other party exchanged conversations, how much multimedia contents such as stickers, photos, videos, etc., were used, and how long conversations were continuously conducted as factors to determine the degree of use of the chat room. Can be applied. At least one of the above factors may be used or two or more factors may be combined to determine the degree of use of the chat room. In addition, different weights can be given to factors used to determine the degree of use. For example, when the weight for the number of entrances to a chat room or the chat rate is 1, a weight of 10 may be applied to the number of chat start times or mentions. Accordingly, the usage level determining unit 310 may calculate a probability value representing the user's usage level for each chat room for each chat room using the above factors.

In FIG. 4 again, in step S430, the chat room selection unit 320 may select at least some of the chat rooms on the messenger as management target chat rooms that are not frequently used based on the degree of use of each chat room. The chat room selection unit 320 may determine whether or not a chat room is not frequently used for each chat room according to the degree of use of the chat room. As an example, the chat room selection unit 320 may select a chat room whose usage level is less than a certain level as a management target chat room based on the usage level. As another example, the chat room selection unit 320 may select a chat room below a certain level or a certain number of chat rooms from the lowest level as a management target chat room after determining the ranking of chat rooms according to the degree of use. In another example, the chat room selection unit 320 assigns a rating to the chat room according to the degree of use, and the assigned rating is less than or equal to a certain level or is maintained for a predetermined period (eg, 1 month). In this case, the chat room can be selected as the chat room to be managed. In this case, the criteria for selecting a chat room to be managed may be applied differently for each user according to the messenger usage time. For example, a person who uses a messenger for more than one hour a day and a person who uses a messenger for less than 30 minutes a day may have different criteria for selecting a managed chat room.

In step S440, the chat room processing unit 330 separates the chat room that is determined to be infrequently used among the chat room list of the messenger, that is, the chat room to be managed, from the remaining chat rooms (hereinafter referred to as'general chat rooms') according to a predetermined method. It can be handled as much as possible. As an example, the chat room processing unit 330 may apply a notification period of a management target chat room longer than that of a general chat room (notification period processing method). For example, a notification related to a general chat room is processed in real time, whereas a management target chat room may be processed in a predetermined time unit (eg, 3 hours). When the notification period is determined to be a management target chat room continuously for more than a predetermined period after the notification period is set in a predetermined time unit (ie, following the previous period), the notification period may be gradually applied gradually longer. As another example, the chat room processing unit 330 may automatically disable (off) a notification function of a managed chat room (notification inactivation processing method). Deactivation of the notification function may include not outputting notification feedback such as sound, vibration, and pop-up, as well as not outputting a notification badge indicating the number of unread messages on an interface related to a chat room. As another example, the chat room processing unit 330 may automatically delete or hide the managed chat room from the chat room list of the messenger (list processing method). Deleting a chat room is a leave action that is deleted from the chat room list as well as the contents of the chat and the chat room information, and hiding the chat room is hidden only in the chat room list while the chat content and information of the chat room remain. It's an action. When a managed chat room is deleted or hidden, notification is not delivered to the other party included in the chat room. As another example, the chat room processing unit 330 may group the chat rooms to be managed from the chat room list of the messenger and process the list of chat rooms to be managed as a separate list separated from the normal chat rooms (grouping processing method). Any one of the above-described processing methods may be applied to the managed chat room, or two or more methods may be applied in stages. For example, when it is first determined as a management target chat room, a notification period processing method may be applied first, and then a notification inactivation processing method or a list processing method may be applied when it is determined as a management target chat room in subsequent periods. In addition, a processing method for the management target chat room may be set in advance by a system setting, or as another example, it may be set directly by the user of the electronic device 110.

Furthermore, when all chat rooms included in the chat room list of the messenger are determined to be managed chat rooms, the chat room processing unit 330 may lock the account of the user registered in the messenger through linkage with the server 150. have. In this case, the chat room processing unit 330 may process account lockout when the entire chat room is maintained in a state selected as a management target chat room for a predetermined period. When the messenger account is locked, the user can request re-authentication for the user's messenger account when accessing other services (e.g., financial support services, social services, etc.) associated with the messenger, and the messenger account can be unlocked after re-authentication. I can.

6 shows a chat room list screen 600 of a messenger. As shown in FIG. 6, the chat room list screen 600 may include a chat room list 610 in which chat rooms in which a user exchanges messages with other users are arranged. For example, the chat room list 610 may be sorted in descending order based on the message transmission/reception time, which is one of the existing sorting criteria. In other words, the chat room may be sorted at the top of the list as the time the user sent or received a message is more recent. have.

Referring to FIG. 6, it is assumed that chat rooms F and G are selected as the management target chat rooms 612 based on the degree of use among chat rooms A to G included in the chat room list 610. At this time, the chat room processing unit 330 may display the display elements (eg, template color, font color or size, etc.) of the managed chat room 612 in the chat room list 610 differently from the other general chat rooms 611. I can. When the notification inactivation processing method is applied to the management target chat room 612, icons 601 indicating the inactivation state of the notification function may be exposed to chat rooms F and G corresponding to the management target chat room 612.

As shown in FIG. 7, in relation to the management target chat room 612, a'conversation' menu for a chat with a user included in the chat room, a'hide' menu for hiding in the chat room list 610, a chat room list ( At 610), a menu list 700 including a'delete' menu for deletion processing, a'management target release' menu for canceling selection as a management target, and the like may be provided. The user can check the management target chat room 612 displayed differently from the general chat room 611 in the chat room list 610, and chat, hide, delete, and manage the management target chat room 612 using the menu list 700. It is possible to manage according to the user's selection, such as target cancellation.

8 is another example of managing a management target chat room, and shows a management target list screen 800 in which a management target chat room is managed as a separate list. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the management target list screen 800 may include a chat room list 820 in which chat rooms selected as management target chat rooms are arranged. In this case, the chat room list 820 may be arranged in the order selected as the chat room to be managed or the name of the chat room.

When the notification inactivation processing method is applied to the management target chat room, icons 801 indicating inactivation status of the notification function may be exposed to chat rooms F and G included in the chat room list 820.

Furthermore, the management target list screen 800 may include a setting menu so that the user can directly set the processing method for the management target chat room, and in this case, the setting menu is for the entire managed chat room included in the chat room list 820. It may include an entire setting menu 802 for collectively setting, and an individual setting menu 803 for setting each of a managed chat room.

When the entire setting menu 802 or the individual setting menu 803 is selected on the management target list screen 800 of FIG. 8, the chat room processing unit 330 sets a processing method for the management target chat room as shown in FIG. 9. A setting screen 900 for doing so may be provided. The setting screen 900 is a menu screen for selecting one of the processing methods applicable to the management target chat room. For example, a'notification cycle processing' menu for applying the notification period processing method to the management target chat room, notification The'Disable Notifications' menu to apply the deactivation processing method, the'Delete Chat Room' menu to apply the processing method of deleting the chat room from the list, and the'Hide Chat Room' menu to apply the method of hiding the chat room from the list. Can be included.
